Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Although some people have complained about being cramped, the room we were given here was very spacious. We had a small table, a tv set, a sofa-bed, an actual bed and a large (for hotel standards) bathroom. The place was pretty comfortable.
The place is priced reasonably, given how expensive Zürich is.

The main issue with with the hotel is its location. It is in the middle of District 4, the red light area of Zürich. Which is also where, as far as we know, drug dealing and other criminal activity happens. In my short stay, I didn't happen to hear anything as dramatic as a shot, but I was intimidated by the area and decided to avoid leaving at night. The hotel isn't a bad choice if you don't mind this, however.
A minor issue is that there is no staff. The hotel works well on its own, but it also feels a bit lifeless without a reception.

nice and cousy room, near the tram and the main station.

the room wasn't ready when I arrived even if I came after 14:00 as it was indicated in the hotel web page (the rooms of the other guest weren't ready either, so it was not a simple mistake). The sedond day there was no room cleaning only the dust bin change.

Wifi.Clean.Easy checkin

Totally unsafe and no privacy.
The hotel is located in red light district of Zurich that is full of prostitutes/trans and drunk people.
The aparment they gave me was located at ground floor. From outside you can see inside the flat as there were just thin curtains inside. I was afraid to sleep during the night due to this. Although there were videocameras on the street you never know with such atmosphere outside. I felt totally unsafe somebody could enter inside by breaking the glass of the windows that i did not sleep. In fact day later a drunk man at 7.00 oclock was just in front of window of the toilet "playing " with some bycicles..Curtain in bathroom was trasparent. When i left i was happy and i felt cheated. There was not reception so if you want to reclaim something you have to call them and spend other money as they don't have email. Probably if they give you flat that is not at ground floor you will have better experience as the apartment itself is well equipped(except for toilet paper and cuisine) but i suppose anyway you won't have so much privacy as other people from buildings in front can look inside your flat. To note also that the entrance door of the building is not locked..
For me never again.

It was convenient to the train station.

The fact that we needed a mobile phone to access the code for the internet. The raucous noise that went on just below the apt. until 5 in the morning. The fact that the neighborhood appears to be Zurich's red light district. Calling the room an apt. is simply pushing the envelope. Yes, there was a fridge and a tea kettle for hot water, but there were no other things that you would associate with an apt. There was one chair and a bed in a very small space. I would not stay there again.

Safe secure simple room with working amenities.

Couldn't access the internet because didn't have the code and had no phone to call for it.
Location is just off a busy street with bars and hookers and johns around, but the place itself felt safe and secure and quiet, aside from the whoops of the revelers out on the street.

Big room, quite well equipped. Clean. Close to train station and city center.

Difficult to locate the room. A bit noisy area, also we were unlucky to have very noisy people in the room/apartment next to us.
The fact that there is no reception can be a bit inconvenient to solve such things but was ok overall.
